Cow's Milk Allergy
Cows’ milk allergy, is one of the most common childhood food allergies and it is estimated to affect around 7% of babies under one, though most children grow out of it.
Allergies in Children
In the UK, 40% of children have been diagnosed with an allergy. The four most common allergies in children are food allergy, eczema, asthma, and hay fever. Allergy symptoms can affect all aspects of a child’s day to day life, including their health and wellbeing, education, and social activities.
Allergies in children can be distressing for both the child and the parent. We understand that parents are concerned about protecting their children against allergen triggers and serious allergic reactions.
